      Did an interesting trad lead on Sunday 10th at Stathams on a route I couldn’t quite place in my guide.

      It is about 10m left of Cornflake, just left of Get Your Hands Off My Bolts; a shallow cave/open corner crack with triangular overhang. Bridge/straddle the thin corner crack, up to grotty recess under overhang, full of loose stuff and dirt. Exit left on to sharp edge and the broken arete, head up and slightly left on to ring bolt loweroffs of Hipster Crack/Quickie/Child’s Play.

      Description sort of matches “Trog” but there is no topo to confirm. The next route right listed is “The Minidala”, which is described as being just right of Trog but on the topo is drawn to the left of the crack corner/overhang I climbed.

        What do you recon its grade is?

          Wasn’t that dusty or loose. A nice little climb, at least compared to doing Morning Glory for the two hundredth time. I thought the grade more than Trog’s 11, maybe 15. But the leader must decide. Anyway write it up as a new climb. At least it’ll be in the right place. For a pleasanter experience, Cornflake is often overlooked but surprisingly good. Easily flashed by A & K on their 100 climb quest.

            I thought it was 15/16. A solid 15.
